01CLOCKS
Silent sweep in matte grey
The Newgate Brian clock brings a quiet, architectural presence to your bedside or desk. Its matte grey casing and minimalist square form echo mid-century modernism, creating a visual anchor that feels both retro and contemporary.
Designed for those who value silence, this alarm clock features a smooth sweeping hand rather than a stepped tick. It suits bedrooms, studies or workspaces where a gentle, unobtrusive timepiece is preferred over loud mechanical noise.

DESIGN
Square case on a pyramid base
The clock’s silhouette is defined by its minimalist square housing, which rests upon a unique pyramid-shaped stand. This geometric foundation lifts the dial slightly, adding depth and shadow to the piece. The matte finish of the case absorbs light softly, avoiding glare while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic that complements neutral interiors.
MOVEMENT
Smooth hands without audible ticks
Inside, a quartz silent sweep mechanism drives the metal hands in a continuous, fluid motion. Unlike traditional clocks that step forward with each second, this movement glides smoothly across the dial. While completely silent to most ears, those with heightened sensitivity may detect a faint whirring in absolute stillness, yet it remains far quieter than standard ticking mechanisms.
DETAILS
Cream dial with Arabic numerals
The face features a cream-coloured paper dial marked with clear Arabic numerals, a nod to mid-century typography. Glass covers the front, protecting the delicate paper surface while allowing an unobstructed view of the time. The contrast between the dark grey case and the light dial ensures readability from across the room, even in low light.
SPECS
Compact dimensions and simple power
Measuring 9 cm in width, 36 cm in height and 41.70 cm in length including the stand, the clock occupies a modest footprint. It weighs 1.67 kg, providing stability without feeling heavy. Operation requires a single AA battery, which is not included, keeping the setup straightforward and maintenance minimal for daily use.
